The purpose of this research project is to explore which musical mode, major and minor, is more effective to motivate children with Asperger's syndrome. To determine the more effective mode, the researcher has conducted experiments with seven students, two female and five male, with Asperger's syndrome on motivation for participation. Simple dance movements were used as a method of measurement for their motivation. The subjects' task was copying the researcher's simple dance with music, in major or minor mode, or with no music. There were three conditions, no music, major music, and minor music. However, the first dance of the experiments that had no music condition was not measured as it was a pre-test. All of the subjects followed the dance movements three times. The second and third dances of the experiments that were major or minor music conditions were used to determine which musical mode is more effective. To determine subjects' motivation from major and minor music, there were three areas of measurement; competency (level of execution) of movements, facial expression, and concentration on the dance for each experiment. All of the experiments were video-recorded for the evaluation. As a tool of measurement, a seven-point Likert scale was used. In addition, there were three evaluators: a professional music therapist, MT-BC; an undergraduate music therapy student at ASU; and a music education student of master's degree at ASU. In the evaluation on the measurements, the scores of the major music condition were slightly higher than the scores of the minor music condition in all three areas; competency of movements, facial expression, and concentration on the dance. However, the differences of the results in all three areas were not statistically significant.

As you probably know, a chicken coop is an essential part of raising backyard chickens. It will provide your flock with warm shelter and a safe place to eat and sleep. However, not many of us want to invest in a pre-made chicken coop for many reasons such as: inflated cost and the hassle of delivery or bringing it home. Therefore, I have written this article to help you build a backyard chicken coop fast and easy. If you follow these 5 easy steps, you will be able to construct a strong and durable backyard chicken coop that will provide excellent shelter for your chickens and keep them safe from predators.
Step 1: Plan Ahead of Time.
If you want to build a backyard chicken coop with the least amounts of setbacks, you must PLAN ahead of time. Some things to think about before beginning your construction are: How many chickens will inhabit the coop?, What size are the chickens, large standards or bantams? How many nests will you provide the hens with? How many feeders and waterers will you have available? How many windows will your chicken coop require to give enough sunlight to your flock? Will you be constructing a chicken run with easy access into and out of the coop? You see, there are various questions that need to be answered before you build a backyard chicken coop because you may find out too late that the coop you built was not sufficient enough to keep your chickens happy and safe.
Step 2: Choose your Terrain.
Once you have answered all your pre-building questions, the next step is to choose a terrain where you will build a backyard chicken coop in. It is very important that you choose an area that is wide enough for your coop to fit with plenty of space around it for a chicken run or for you to maneuver around. You do not want to build a coop where you do not have easy access around its perimeter. Try to choose a terrain where it receives direct sunlight and far from heavy bushes or weeds where snakes, rodents, and other predators may reside in.
Step 3: Sketch out your Design on Paper.
When attempting to build a backyard chicken coop, do not go at it with a concept in your head. This can lead to disaster. Make sure you sketch out your coop on paper, even if you're not an artist, and cover every angle including a top view of the roof and a sketch of the inside. If this is your first time building a backyard chicken coop, you shouldn't go for an architectural masterpiece, but rather start out with a simple chicken coop first just big enough for your flock and as you gain experience, then go for something of a greater scale.
Step 4: Gather all your Materials.
Before you build a backyard chicken coop, make an effort to collect all the materials you will need so that you won't have to take unexpected trips to and from the hardware or lumber store. A good example of materials you will need are: wood (2 x 4), concrete cinder blocks, chicken wire or fence wire, insulation strips, and ofcourse nails, screws, saw and hammer. While these are your most common materials, only you will know exactly what you need when you complete steps 1 and 3 and actually plan ahead of time and sketch out your coop design from every angle.
It is now time to build a backyard chicken coop. You have done all your planning ahead of time. You have chosen a terrain convenient to maneuver around with excellent sunlight and free from predators. You have sketched out your chicken coop design on paper and you have gathered all your materials. Now all you have to do is put it together.
Some things to remember: Provide plenty of ventilation through screened windows, bury your outside chicken wire along the coop's borders about a foot deep to prevent predators from digging in, and if you live in cold climates, make sure to properly insulate the roof and insides of the coop.
I hope these 5 steps will help you build a backyard chicken coop with greater ease and success. However, these are only a few guidelines and there is so much more information you should learn before you actually build a backyard chicken coop.

My work role is undergoing a subtle shift. In the first six months in my job in the college, I was mainly involved in strategic developments, which meant I dipped my toe into almost everything, from planning new customer service initiatives to talking to strategic partners overseas. However, since January, after the college recruited a new Managing Director, whose role includes everything business related, my role has changed into one overseeing the learning and teaching in the business courses of the college. Which I indeed love, it is in line with what I am studying at the UCL and something that I wanted to do: In a way, I am dead serious when I say I have retired from business.
I was at the launch of a new book - Blue Skies: New Thinking About The Future of Higher Education - on Monday the 23rd. This was about, as Rod Bristow, President of Pearson UK and the host of the event said, starting a debate on the role and future of higher education in Britain. If so, it was timely: In many ways, this is a time for existential crisis for higher education. In attendance were who's who in Higher Education, including the British Minister for Universities and Science, David Willetts, and Wendy Piatt, the Director General of Russell Group. There was some debate on the funding models and more discussion on where the Higher Ed is going in Britain. However, one thing everyone agreed on - education is for employability.
59/100: How can 'Education as Enterprise' Turn A Profit?
I am looking for a name of my industry. I am in this industry which is called 'Private Sector Education' in Britain, and 'For Profit Education' in America: I like neither of these terms. For a start, 'Private Sector' is a term espoused with Britain's ubiquitous Public Sector in mind, but that distinction may soon go. More and more education businesses will now vie for public funds given out in terms of subsidized student loans, and more publicly funded universities and colleges would want fee paying students just like the Private sector. In fact, the Universities minister David Willetts just alluded to that possibility, only to be severely rebuked by Vice-Chancellors and the media; but, as with other things this Government is doing, this is exactly what is around the corner.
58/100: How To Turn Around A Not-for-Profit?
I never understood something about the self-help literature: It always assumes that you know where you are going. But, mostly, we don't: Or at least, I don't. I keep setting goals, indeed, because I am told they are a good thing. But I most often abandon them rather than reaching them. I shall argue that does not turn me into a failure, necessarily. It makes me feel like Christopher Columbus, who wanted to go to India using a different route: He took a risk, made a mistake, and what a rewarding mistake that turned out to be.
I spent yesterday in the Adobe 'Experience Matters' seminar in London - a showcase of Adobe's enterprise tools and multi-platform capability - which was every bit worthwhile as I learned so many new things. It was indeed good to spend some time learning about new technologies: The new ideas, as ever, were refreshing, and there were some really good presenters there.
I am amazed how little discussion there is about teaching in higher education. I am currently exploring what is available, and indeed coming across people like Stephen Brookfield and Stephen Rowland, but this is quite inadequate given the huge expansion of university education and teacher numbers. Derek Bok, the former President of Harvard University, wrote that universities often don't want to discuss or improve teaching: Research yes, teaching no. There seems to be an idea that teaching needs to be steady state, whatever we need to know about teaching is already known and if you let someone with enough knowledge and experience inside the class, nothing else will be required.
Amit Sood talks about Google's Online Museum, and I am indeed excited to see the service. For me, this is about art being given back to people, as well as a neat way to prepare for Museum visits. Indeed, I love the museums, the experience of being in the presence of great creative works, and I am sure this will help me prepare for my visits better and make the visits more enjoyable.
52/100: Is Higher Ed Bubble About to Burst?
The Economist makes the point that Higher Education may be the latest bubble and may be it is about to burst.
The argument rests on three things.
The first, as observed by Peter Thiel, the legendary Paypal investor, is that the tuition fees are too high, debt burdens are too onerous, and rewards are too uncertain for people to keep investing in education. In his view, higher education is like housing, seen as an insurance against the uncertain future: Once the promise of the future disappears, the students may not be interested to pay the high fees that the top schools now demand.
I am in Private Sector Higher Education in Britain and my work makes me explore the ways to reconcile the profit maximization motive, central to any private business, with the need to deliver a high quality (whatever that means, for the moment) education experience.
There are 157 Degree granting institutions in Britain, only 5 of them are privately funded. Two of them are in the news, The University of Buckingham, which got its charter in 1970s, and BPP, the Business, Accountancy and Legal Education company, which received its charter only recently. The others are Ashridge, a well-regarded business school, the College of Law, a legal education provider and IFS, which specializes in Financial Services training.
For all the glory policy-makers want to claim, usually policy follows social realities and not the other way around. Indeed, I am in the middle of preparation for my dissertation on the Open University, and exploring how all the policy pronouncements about the University of the Air, that's how it was first named, were really a catch-up. The technology moved, social realities moved and all the Ministers were doing was a catch-up. It was no longer plausible to leave vast numbers of people in the country, 96% of the school leaving population at the time, outside the cycle of prosperity, hence the two bills of 1966, one to create the Polytechnics and the other to keep the Open University, though none acknowledged the other.
I am doing some work on what quality means in the context of our MBA programme, and the discussion is gradually pulling me to an uncharted territory. My initial ideas were, if I can claim, simple: I thought it meant keeping promises, delivering what was said in the prospectus. This was the textbook definition of quality as I understood it. However, it took me only a few conversations with students and tutors to see how differently each of these promises were understood, and how culturally specific some of the things I assumed we have said were. Besides, the enquiry opened up a whole new discussion about the content of the MBA programme, its objectives and what it must achieve in the end to be valuable.
I wish email software programmes had an 'Unsend' button. Sometimes, that would have saved lives; more often, this would have saved marriages, friendships and definitely, jobs. It is surely not impossible to undo an email sent - unlike a bullet fired - but just unappealing. However, surely, a Google Engineer someday will give his 20% time on this. That will be realizing the unrealized potential of Outlook's Recall function, which, if I remember correctly, usually used to send a second email saying that 'the sender has recalled the previous email'. That was my definitive example of pure nonsense: Indeed, I tried and failed before.
breakthroughs, largely thanks to your posts about your journey.
I stepped out of my "job" a month back. In your words, "I am not looking for a job." Doing nothing more significant than creating more debt and having a good time at home with family.
Have been through a good bit the last two years. Terrible stuff but very instructive.
Would like to see 46/100 if you think it is ok.
This is the first mail I saw when I turned on my Blackberry on my way to office. This is from a friend whose words made my day. He has taken the leap of faith; whatever I said in my blog, I haven't reached there yet.
Today can be anything: Start of a prolonged war of civilizations or the end of it. Let us hope it is the end, as it appears to be. The most important figurehead of Islamic extremism is gone. This may not weaken the Al Queda units across the world in real terms, because of their decentralized nature, but this should rob them of their most recognizable icon and the most effective recruitment tool. This should lead to a thaw in Afghanistan, give Americans the breathing space they need. This should allow other Muslim leaders to emerge in the limelight, hopefully with more moderate voices.
This is a great speech handling a difficult subject. The President took great care not to sound too jubilant, as Military Leaders often do, and offend anyone. Instead, he was on the message about not fighting against Islam, not fighting against Pakistan, and not fighting against the American right. His usual restrain works against him when Americans want emotion - as it did during the Deepwater Horizon crisis - but it served him well in this speech. Someone commented on Twitter - we are possibly watching a great second coming of Barack Obama.
I have been reading Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner's timely book, The New Social Learning, which points to the social nature of organizational learning. I would rate this book only 3 out of 5, and found parts of it quite laborious to read. Lots of it reads like PowerPoint slides put together, which makes it quite dry and difficult to engage with: However, the book nonetheless makes important points that any Learning and Development practitioner should take notice of.

The Eurocopter EC725 Caracal, now called Airbus Helicopters H225M, is a long-range tactical transport military helicopter developed from the Eurocopter AS532 Cougar for military use. It is a twin-engined aircraft and can carry up to 28 seated troops along with two crew, depending on customer configuration. The helicopter is marketed for troop transport, casualty evacuation, and combat search and rescue duties, and is similar to the civilian EC225 Super Puma.

Development

The EC725 was developed to meet a French Air Force requirement for a specialist helicopter for Combat Search and Rescue operations. The AS 532 A2 Cougar model was examined and rejected for this purpose following extensive trials between 1996 and 1999. The primary improvements desired by the French Air Force were more powerful engines, greater flight endurance and improved combat durability. Eurocopter opted to pursue development of a more ambitious derivative of the AS 532 to meet this need, which was later designated as the EC725. The EC725 was initially named Cougar Mk II+ due to treaty reasons. The new aircraft also featured new mission equipment and autonomous avionics, along with other changes to meet the French specification.

On 27 November 2000, the first EC725 prototype performed its maiden flight at Marignane, and on 15 January 2001, the first public presentation of the new helicopter took place. In concurrent development of the military-orientated EC725, Eurocopter also developed a civil-orientated counterpart, which was designated as the EC225. The French Air Force subsequently ordered an initial six EC725s to perform the Combat Search & Rescue mission, the first of these was delivered in February 2005. A follow-on order for eight more EC725s was placed for the French Armed Forces in November 2002; a total fleet of 20 EC725s in French service was envisioned in 2004.

By 2015, the EC725, since re-designated as the H225M, was being manufactured on two separate production lines in France and Brazil. In July 2015, Airbus Helicopters announced that it was considering setting up a third assembly line in India if the firm was successful at winning an Indian tender for naval helicopters.

Design
The EC725 is based on the Eurocopter AS 532 Cougar, improving upon the design with a five-blade composite main rotor incorporating a new airfoil shape to reduce vibration levels. The helicopter can be fitted with removable armour plating to protect the troops and is powered by two Turbomeca Makila 1A4 turboshaft engines mounted over the cabin, which feature a dual-channel full authority digital engine control (FADEC) system. They can be fitted with an anti-icing system to enable the aircraft to operate in very cold climates. Other improvements include a reinforced main rotor gearbox and an all glass cockpit. The cockpit is equipped with an integrated display system featuring a digital map and active-matrix liquid-crystal display.

The EC725 can be equipped with various military equipment and armaments, such as a pair of 7.62 mm FN MAG machine guns mounted within forward left and right windows, or a pair of 68 mm (2.75") Thales Brandt or Forges de Zeebrugge side-mounted rocket launchers, each with 19 rockets, or the MU90 Impact aerial-launched torpedo. Furthermore, a combination of gun pods, rocket pods and Hellfire air-to-surface missiles can be mounted externally via the HForce Generic Weapon System (GWS)  and targeted with Thales Scorpion helmet-mounted sight display (HMSD) and Wescam electro-optical sensor. The Exocet anti-ship missile has also been integrated upon Brazilian Navy EC725s. Brazilian EC725s are equipped with a Helibras-built countermeasures suite, which includes chaff and flares to confuse radar and heat-guided missiles respectively; Thales has also produced self-protection systems to equip French EC725s.

Eurocopter developed four primacy cabin configurations for the type. The Troop Transport version contains a seating arrangement for a maximum of 29 troops, in addition to the crew. A dedicated VIP transport version is designed to contain between 8 and 12 passengers. The Casualty Evacuation version can carry up to 12 stretchers along with a total of four seated medical staff. The Combat SAR configuration is fully equipped to perform search and rescue duties in a combat environment. According to Airbus Helicopters, the H225M is capable of undertaking various mission roles including combat search and rescue, long-range tactical transport, aeromedical transport, logistic support and shipboard maritime operations. The helicopter has day and night time search and rescue capabilities by way of a search radar and forward-looking infrared (FLIR); these allow the EC725 to be flown under visual meteorological and instrument flight rules conditions.

Operational history

Less than six weeks after formally entering service, three French Air Force EC725s were dispatched to Cyprus to evacuate civilians from Lebanon during Opération Baliste in the summer of 2006. In December 2006, the French Air Force began deploying EC725s to the war in Afghanistan to support the coalition forces operating in region. EC725s in the Afghan theatre were based at Kabul International Airport. In 2013, French EC735s were receiving several upgrades, these include a new SAGEM Forward looking infrared sensor, new door-mounted Nexter-built machine guns, FADEC changes for low temperature operations, and reduced maintenance requirements.

In 2008, the Brazilian Government announced that the Helibras factory in Itajubá, Minas Gerais, will produce an initial 50 EC725s under a $1 billion order. These 50 helicopters are to be used by the Brazilian Navy, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and Brazilian Army Aviation Command. By December 2010, three helicopters were undergoing flight tests prior to entering military service. In 2012, Helibras begin assembly of the rest of the order. In April 2014, Helibras and MBDA were in the process of integrating the anti-ship Exocet missile, which are also 50%-built in Brazil. On 19 June 2014, the Brazilian Navy formally accepted delivery of the first EC725. By July 2015, the Brazilian armed forces had taken delivery of 16 H225Ms; deliveries were reported at the time to continue until 2019. By 1 October 2015, Brazil's H225M fleet had attained 10,000 flight hours. In December 2015, Helibras delivered the first pair of H225Ms to be delivered to a full operational capability (FOC) standard to the Brazilian military.

In March 2009, Mexico became the second export customer for the type when the Secretariat of National Defense placed an order for six armed EC725s for civil security and transport missions; the second batch of six was ordered in September 2010. On 30 April 2015, a Mexican Air Force EC725 made an emergency landing after the tail rotor was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing six soldiers and wounding 12, while engaged in Operation Jalisco, a coordinated multi-force action to combat the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in both Jalisco and Colima. In May 2015, Mexico was reportedly in the process of negotiating the purchase of an additional 50 H225Ms.

In April 2009, Malaysia placed an order for 12 EC725s in a Search and Rescue configuration to replace the ageing Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King fleet. In 2014, following Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 going missing, the Royal Malaysian Air Force deployed their EC725s was deployed to search the plane along C-130s around the South China Sea and Strait of Malacca. Following the 2015 Sabah earthquake, several Royal Malaysia Air Force EC725s were despatched to Laban Rata in Mount Kinabalu to rescue stranded climbers and retrieve the deceased.

In November 2014, the Indonesian Air Force took delivery of the first of six EC725s for Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) operations. Indonesian Aerospace (PT. Dirgantara Indonesia/PTDI) performs the maintenance, repair and overhaul activities upon Indonesia's EC725 fleet; the firm also supply the tail booms and airframe assemblies for EC225s and EC725s worldwide, the first locally assembled main fuselage assembly was delivered in November 2013.

On 21 April 2015, Poland announced that the H225M was the sole winner of an order for 50 units to replace their tri-service fleet of Mil Mi-8 and Mil Mi-14. If signed, the contract would consist of 16 transport, 13 combat search and rescue, eight anti-submarine warfare, eight special forces and five medical evacuation helicopters to be assembled in Poland. In May 2015, the H225M passed state trials held in 33rd Air Base over the course of two weeks. In October 2015, Poland's armament inspectorate reported that the total procurement cost would be roughly PLN13.3 billion ($3.5 billion), 40 per cent of which being for training and logistical support. However, in October 2016, Poland dropped out of offset negotiations prior to concluding the deal. According to former President of Poland Aleksander Kwasniewski, the H225M purchase had been part of a gentlemen's agreement under which France had cancelled an arranged sale of two Mistral-class amphibious assault ships to Russia.

In June 2015, it was revealed that Kuwait was negotiating to acquire up to 24 EC725s Caracals for the Kuwait Air Force. In August 2016, the Kuwait Ministry of Defense and Airbus Helicopters signed a $1 billion contract for 30 H225M helicopters; 24 of these are for the Kuwait Air Force and six are for the Kuwait National Guard, these are to be armed with anti-ship missiles In January 2019 however, Kuwaiti Minister of Defense Nasser Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah announced that it would set up a committee of inquiry into the procurement of the helicopters regarding possible financial violations.

On 7 November 2016, Singapore announced that the H225M would replace its existing Super Pumas, which had been in service since 1983, after a rigorous evaluation process. This would enable the Republic of Singapore Air Force to meet its requirements for a wide spectrum of operations, including Search and Rescue (SAR), Aeromedical Evacuation (AME) and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations, more efficiently with fewer helicopters and less manpower.

On 3 December 2021, UAE ordered 12 Caracal helicopters.

Potential Operators
In 2013, the EC725 was submitted to the Indian Navy's Naval Multi-Role Helicopter (NMRH) competition, seeking 123 helicopters to replace its aging Westland Sea King fleet. In October 2015, Indian authorities were holding discussions to finalize a deal for 14 H225s for the Indian Coast Guard. Media reports note that Airbus was in the lead to win the contract, having made a lower financial bid than rival Sikorsky for their S-92. The submitted bid complies with a 30% offset clause, requiring Airbus to invest Rs. 6 billion of the Rs. 20 billion bid in India's defense and aerospace manufacturing sector.

Glitch in Source Linker
jlwestra mod
December 22, 2021 in Family Tree
The Source Linker is an amazing tool, but we have encountered a glitch when the Source Linker is used to add new people into Family Tree (FT). We have seen this glitch many times when looking at marriage records from the Netherlands, and when we want to add in parents of the bride or groom to FT, and when the parent has a three part name, two given names, and one surname. When we see the person to be added to FT, in the left hand column, from the source, it shows the three part name. When we click on Add, the Source Linker brings up a box, Add to Family Tree, and populates that box with the name of the person to be added to FT. However, the name that populates in that box is not exactly the name that was found on the source. The name in the box has First Name, as the first of the two given names from the source. Then the Last Name in the box is entered as the Second Given Name from the Source. The surname from the source is not entered by the Source Linker into that box at all. If I discover this when I am adding, I can copy the full name from the source, and put it into the Add to Family Tree box. However, I might not always discover this problem, and might end up entering a name of a person into FT, from a given source, and the name that gets entered into FT is not exactly the same as the name from the source.
One example of this problem, so you can reproduce the problem, starts with Hessel Nauta 16 April 1843 – 11 January 1918 MBC8-H2H, who is listed as the Husband of my 9th Cousin, twice removed. This Hessel has another marriage, to Systke Reversma 1840 – Deceased LB4D-RKV. The parents of this Systke are in FT, but the parents of those parents are not. When I go to the father of Systke, Ruurd Hanzes Reversma 1810 – Deceased L1G8-8WG, I see five sources. One of those sources is for the marriage of Ruurd, in 1834, and it shows a box that says: This source has not been attached to all people found in the record.
When I click on Unfinished Attachments, I see the opportunity to add the parents of the spouse of Ruurd. The mother shows a three part name in the source: Sydske Sydzes Schaafsma. However when I click on Add, the Add to Family Tree box has the name of the person to be added as Sydske Sydzes, and had lost the surname from the source. You can see the same problem if you try to add the parents of the groom. It is almost as if the Source Linker is trying to input names into FT, following the old patronymics naming system.

@jlwestra
Thank you for posting in the Community about the Source Linker glitch. Another missionary said the best thing to do would be to correct the names before Creating and attaching the record. When you click add for Sydske Sydzes Schaafsma, leave the Sydske in the first name field, and add Sydzes and Schaafsma in the last name field, because it could be the Sydzes is the mother's maiden name, and the Schaafsma is the farm name. You will then have the complete name listed when you attach the record. It might be useful to add an estimate birth date for the parents, like (about 20 years before Ruurd's birth, or 1790) to the record prior to creating it.
We hope this information is helpful.

Thank you for your reply to my post about the Source Linker. What you suggest is typically called a workaround, which is often used to work around a malfunction in the software. The workaround is usually temporary, until the malfunction in the software can be corrected. In this case, it shouldn't be a difficult fix, since the Source Linker in most other cases, handles these names correctly. In this case, the name Sydzes is not the mother's maiden name. It is the father's given name with an added s, kind of like Hansen in Danish in the old patronymic naming system. The name Schaafsma is not a farm name. It is the accepted surname for the family. The name Sydske Sydzes might have been the name listed for Sydske at her birth, but the family later took on the surname Schaafsma, so Sydske would be listed with the name Sydske Sydzes Schaafsma in later records, such as her marriage, and in this document, which is the marriage of her child. In most cases, the name listed in FT records from the Netherlands is the later name, which is the case above. So it would be far better to fix the original malfunction, rather than have dozens or perhaps hundreds of patrons be forever expected to follow some vague workaround. If the programmers were to see this case, they might easily be able to generate a fix for the problem, since they could replicate this situation in testing their fix. What is the best way to get this case to the programmers? It could be sent on to the programmers, or I could resubmit this case in another category. Please let me know what I can do to make this happen.
Your concern will be forwarded to a specialty team for review and resolution. You may be contacted by that team if they need more information.

The 1999 Rugby World Cup was the fourth Rugby World Cup, the quadrennial international rugby union championship. It was principally hosted by Wales, and was won by Australia. This was the first Rugby World Cup to be held in the sport's professional era.

Although the majority of matches were played outside Wales (shared between England, France, Scotland and Ireland) the opening ceremony, the first match and the final were held in Cardiff.

Four automatic qualification places were available for the 1999 tournament; Wales qualified automatically as hosts, and the other three places went to the top three teams from the previous World Cup in 1995: champions South Africa, runners-up New Zealand and third-placed France. Qualification for the final 16 places took place between 63 other nations.

The tournament was expanded to 20 teams (from 16), divided into five pools of four teams, a scenario that necessitated a quarter-final play-off round involving the five runners-up and best third-placed team to decide who would join the pool winners in the last eight. The 1999 tournament saw the introduction of a repechage, effectively a second chance for teams that had finished runners-up in each qualifying zone. Uruguay and Tonga were the first nations to profit from the repechage, and took their places alongside fellow qualifiers Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Argentina, Fiji, Samoa, Romania, Canada, Namibia, Japan, Spain and the United States.

The tournament began with the opening ceremony in the newly built Millennium Stadium, with Wales beating Argentina 23–18, and Colin Charvis scoring the first try of the tournament. Australia won the tournament, becoming the first nation to do so twice and also to date the only team ever to win after having to qualify for the tournament, with a 35–12 triumph over France, who were unable to repeat their semi-final victory over pre-tournament favourites New Zealand.

The overall attendance for the tournament was 1.75 million.

Qualifying

The following 20 teams, shown by region, qualified for the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Of the 20 teams, only four of those places were automatically allocated and did not have to play any qualification matches. These went to the champions, runners-up and the third-placed nations at the 1995 and the tournament host, Wales. A record 65 nations from five continents were therefore involved in the qualification process designed to fill the remaining 16 spots.

Venues

Wales won the right to host the World Cup in 1999. The centrepiece venue for the tournament was the Millennium Stadium, built on the site of the old National Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park at a cost of £126 million from Lottery money and private investment. Other venues in Wales were the Racecourse Ground and Stradey Park. An agreement was reached so that the other unions in the Five Nations Championship (England, France, Ireland and Scotland) also hosted matches.

Venues in England included Twickenham Stadium and Welford Road Stadium, rugby union venues, as well as Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol and the McAlpine Stadium in Huddersfield, which normally host football. Scottish venues included Murrayfield Stadium, the home of the Scottish Rugby Union; Hampden Park, the home of the Scottish Football Association; and the smallest venue in the 1999 tournament, Netherdale, in Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. Venues in Ireland included Lansdowne Road, the traditional home of the Irish Rugby Football Union; Ravenhill Stadium; and Thomond Park. France used five venues, the most of any nation, including the French national stadium, Stade de France, which hosted the final of both the 1998 FIFA World Cup and the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

Pools and format

With the expansion of the Rugby World Cup from 16 to 20 teams an unusual and complex format was used with the teams split into five pools of four teams with each team playing each other in their pool once.
Pool A was played in Scotland
Pool B was played in England
Pool C was played in France
Pool D was played in the principal host nation Wales
Pool E was played in Ireland

Points system

The points system that was used in the pool stage was unchanged from both 1991 and 1995:
3 points for a win
2 points for a draw
1 point for playing

The five pool winners qualified automatically to the quarter-finals. The five pool runners-up and the best third-placed side qualified for the quarter-final play-offs.

Knock-out stage

The five pool runners-up and the best third-placed team from the pool stage (which was Argentina) contested the quarter-final play-offs in three one-off matches that decided the remaining three places in the quarter-finals, with the losers being eliminated. The unusual format meant that two pool winners in the quarter-finals would have to play each other. From the quarter-final stage it became a simple knockout tournament. The semi-final losers played off for third place. The draw and format for the knock-out stage was set as follows.

Quarter-final play-offs draw

Match H: Pool B runner-up v Pool C runner-up
Match G: Pool A runner-up v Pool D runner-up
Match F: Pool E runner-up v Best third-placed team

Quarter-finals draw

Match M: Pool D winners v Pool E winners
Match J: Pool A winners v Play-off H winners
Match L: Pool C winners v Play-off F winners
Match K: Pool B winners v Play-off G winners

Semi-finals draw

Match J winners v Match M winners
Match L winners v Match K winners

A total of 41 matches (30 pool stage and 11 knock-out) were played throughout the tournament over 35 days from 1 October 1999 to 6 November 1999.

Pool stage
The tournament began on 1 October 1999 in the newly built Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, with Wales beating Argentina in a hard-fought game 23–18 to get their campaign off to a positive start. The Pool stage of the tournament played out as was widely expected with the Tri Nations teams of New Zealand (who inflected a massive 101–3 win against Italy at the McAlpine Stadium in Huddersfield), South Africa and Australia all winning their pools easily without losing a single game. For the then Five Nations Championship teams who all played their pool matches in their own countries it was a case of mixed fortunes with France winning their pool without losing a game. Host Wales also won their pool, though they suffered 31–38 defeat at the hands of Samoa in front of a home crowd at the Millennium Stadium. However, as expected England, Ireland and Scotland all finished second in their pools and were forced to try to qualify for the quarter-finals via the play-offs alongside fellow runners-up Samoa and Fiji, and Argentina as the best third placed side from all five pools, having been the only third-placed side to win two matches (against Samoa and Japan). Indeed, Argentina had finished level with Wales and Samoa on 7 points each in the group stages, and could only be separated by "total points scored": playing and winning their final match against Japan, they had the chance to overtake either of Samoa or Wales, but were 14 points short of overtaking Samoa's total score and a further 18 points short of Wales.

Play-off stage
The quarter-final play-offs were three one-off knock-out matches between the runners-up of each pool and the best third-placed side from all five pools to decide the remaining three places in the quarter-finals. The matches were played in mid-week between the completion of the pool stage and the start of the quarter-finals. The matches produced fairly easy wins for England, beating Fiji 45–24, and also for Scotland, beating Samoa 35–20. However, the final match produced the shock of the round where Argentina upset Ireland 28–24 in Lens.

Quarter-final play-offs

Knockout stage
The winners from the quarter-final play-offs, who had played in mid-week, joined the pool winners, who had enjoyed a week long rest, in the quarter-finals. England, hosts Wales and Scotland were all knocked out, and France, who beat Argentina, were the only team left from the Northern Hemisphere.

The semi-finals, which were both played at Twickenham Stadium, produced two of the most dramatic matches of the tournament, with Australia beating South Africa 27–21 in extra-time after normal time ended with the scores locked at 18-18. The second semi-final between favourites New Zealand and underdogs France was an all-time classic, as France overturned a 24–10 half-time deficit to win 43–31 and reach their second World Cup final. France and Australia met at the Millennium Stadium on 6 November 1999, with Australia winning 35–12 to become the first team to win the Webb Ellis Cup twice. The cup was presented by Queen Elizabeth II to Australian captain John Eales.

The overall attendance for the tournament was 1.75 million.

Police forces are to receive a financial boost over the next two years to support a series of transformation projects with a strong emphasis on digital technology and data sharing.
The Home Office has announced awards totalling £42.7 million to 15 successful bids, on top of £70 million already approved by the home secretary for investment in four national police led programmes.
The latest round of projects to receive backing from the Police Transformation Fund for 2018-20 includes £14.8 million over two years for a project led by the Metropolitan Police to develop a national technical capability and infrastructure for law enforcement agencies.
West Midlands has also been given a sizeable boost of almost £4.5 million for work on a national analytics solution for policing, while the City of London Police has won £3.2 million for a project on data sharing to combat fraud and cyber crime.
Two projects led by the National Crime Agency have received significant backing: the development of the National Data Exploitation Centre (£4 million) and a National Economic Crime Centre (£1.5 million).
Others to receive more than £1 million are: the Derbyshire Police cyber crime initiative (£4.8 million), City of London Police for dealing with economic crime (£2.9 million); Norfolk Police for a proposal to fight child sexual exploitation and abuse; the Home Office Strategic Centre for Organised Crime to support a number of projects with different police forces (£1.45 million); and the Police ICT Company to support its transformation programme (£1 million).
The fund was launched in May 2016 and is aimed at helping police forces respond to changes in crime. Between 2016-18 it provided £223 million to support 98 projects.
The National Enabling Programme for a unified IT system across policing.
Specialist Capabilities Programme for force-to-force resource sharing.
The Digital Policing Portfolio to improve police forces' use of technology, including the creation of an online hub for the reporting of low level incidents.
Transforming Forensics to improve biometric services and digital forensics.

Opening Night Blog: Happy Accidents
Home Blog Opening Night Blog: Happy Accidents
Our opening night blogger, Lansia Wann attends PTC's openings as often as we can convince her to, and in return for an invite to the cast party, writes a post about the cast. We never know what we're going to get.
Here's what she learned about other "plays gone wrong" from the cast of PTC's The Play That Goes Wrong.
Growing up, you always hear, "learn from your mistakes." And occasionally when something goes wrong, I've been told to just "laugh it off."
Well, as they say, "laughter is the best medicine" and the Mischief Theatre Company must have taken that to heart when they wrote The Play That Goes Wrong. If the title didn't give it away already, know that everything, everything goes wrong in this play within a play – on purpose, of course.
I won't give away more than that but The Play That Goes Wrong won several awards including a Tony for Best Scenic Design, Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, and BroadwayWorld Award for Best Play. Critic Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail gave it five out of five stars and it's even been translated and licensed for production in more than 20 countries. The Play That Goes Wrong certainly did something right.
So, embracing that same philosophy, I asked a few cast members what went wrong in their lives that ended up turning out right. Here are their stories…
Harrison John Lind (Cornley Polytechnic Stage Crew)
In a production of Love's Labour's Lost, Harrison played a servant character that had a one-two-liner during a 12-minute long scene. I call out his brevity in the scene because he stands there for the entirety of the scene after he says his quick one or two lines. Though, just before the scene, he needed to collapse a giant ladder for a set change.
"One night, I was moving the ladder and I caught that part that hinges the ladder – caught it right on that sensitive part of skin between my pointer finger and thumb – this huge gash right in the middle of this huge scene. So I said my line and had to just stand there in the corner for this entire scene for 12 minutes with this open wound."
There's nothing like a bleeding heart hand to really implement those acting chops in the middle of a little Shakespeare.
Morgan Werder (Cornley Polytechnic Stage Crew)
Morgan played a bride recently in another very physical show called Big Love. Imagine, if you will, brides running around on stage rambunctiously trying to escape marriage. There are balloons being popped, vases being thrown, people dancing, singing, jumping around…
"My first action is popping these balloons which require this twisting of my body in a really tight wedding dress. It wrapped around one of my legs so when I made this throw to pop a balloon, my knee just came right out of its socket and I collapsed like a scarecrow… I had this big wedding dress on so no one could see that my knee was dislocated, no one could see what the problem was… Everyone kept going and I had to throw a vase next so I just popped [my knee] right back in, jumped up on my legs, ran, and threw this vase against the wall. For the rest of the show, I was grabbing onto people's arms and digging my nails into them and going, "My knee's broken, my knee's gone." No one understood me."
There was no intermission. Morgan limped along through the entirety of the show. "It's crazy how much of that is an animal instinct," she says. No wonder I always hear actors are a crazy bunch.
Jessica Weyman (Cornley Polytechnic Stage Crew)
In a play last year, Jessica lost her voice and needed an assistant director to read lines offstage while she lip-synced. It was all going well until…
"I had to kiss my scene partner… [the assistant director] read my line, while we were kissing. And the entire audience just lost it! I don't usually get laughs. I normally don't play a character that gets laughs and everyone was having a great time. So, I thought, "Finally! People like me!" It was a great experience."
Eric Santagata (Dennis/Perkins)
During college, Eric was in a play about George M. Cohan, a man dubbed "the man who owned Broadway" and considered the father of American musical comedy. The play featured a large dance number called "Popularity," where Eric would come on stage and undress little by little as it went on. It was an on-stage costume change, people! tsk, tsk!
"At the very end of the number, I was supposed to jump out of this trunk in a sailor costume, standing [front and] center, saluting while it plays a big anthem. Well, the costume change didn't go so well and as I'm saluting dead center, my pants start to fall. And they are falling and falling… there's nothing I can do about it. I'm frozen with my hand up to my forehead saluting while the George Cohan character is singing this glorious song downstage and there I am… with my sailor pants halfway down around my ankles. Needless to say, we got stronger Velcro."
It was purely foresight and preparation for his time at Pioneer Theatre now though. He comments, "It's a lot like what happens in the [Play That Goes Wrong]."
Brandon Contreras (Jonathan/Charles Haversham)
When Brandon just turned 20, he got his dream show. He was a male swing – basically an offstage backup actor – for the first national tour of In the Heights. As a newbie, he covered seven different roles that tour. And, during one of the first few times he went on stage, it was in the middle of number during a costume change.
"They change really quickly and come out in different 1940s Cuban clothes. This actor, just before the song starts, says, "I have to get out… I can't do the rest of the show." I remember going out on stage just being so frightened and nervous because I was still new to the company and I had only done this track one other time before… As I'm stripping off all my clothes… I just remember I got to stage right and I [need to wait] for the [actor's] mic pack. I can't put on my clothes until I have my mic pack on. So, I'm standing there in my socks and my underwear, nothing else. Somehow, magically, with the help of eight different legs and arms, I was able to make this 20-second quick change."
Brandon learned quickly to trust in his castmates, and after that experience, he advises, "Know that if you are trusting, other people can trust you as well."
Ruth Pferdehirt (Sandra/Florence Colleymore)
A little more than 11 years ago, Ruth took the subway home after a very bad date. As she looked around the subway car, she saw a guy clearly memorizing lines and looking at a script.
"It was during the New York Musical Theatre Festival – the NYMF festival. And I think I was just kind of sad and kind of lonely. So I asked, "Are you in a NYMF show and is it any good?" And, he said, "I am in a NYMF show and it is very bad." We started talking and we exchanged numbers… I think that crappy date left me more open to meeting someone on the subway, and now we've been together for 11 years and married for three."
William Connell (Chris/Inspector Carter)
William was the first person to greet this mess-of-a-gal when he showed up to an audition early. This young lady walks into the room in kind of a huff, bags, multiple layers, and asks William, "Is this where the audition for this thing is? Where's the sign-in?"
"She signs in her name but she's in such a huff that she literally, BOOM, walks right into a wall. Without missing a beat she says, "There's a wall there." [She] grabs her stuff, goes down the hallway… Fifteen minutes later, other ladies come in and out [of the hallway]. Then, this woman comes down the hall wearing this strapless dress that is about mid-thigh, hair is all va-va-voom. And… it's the same woman."
I feel like you can tell where this story goes… That same woman is now William's wife, Hanley Smith.
Find The Play That Goes Wrong at Pioneer Theatre Company until December 21, 2019.


The first 300 people who send in their pictures with the book in their hands get an autographed bookmark from the author, Avinash Kaushik. So I gave my daughter a choice – did she want her picture on my blog, or did she want it on Avinash's blog, where more people would see it, but no one would know who she was? Well, you can see which one she chose. BTW, I think letting people send in their kids' pictures with the book is a brilliant idea.
Avinash, since you asked for all feedback, good and bad – I was so disappointed that the included disk said "CD-ROM" on it, but doesn't work in my car (and what was I expecting? you wrote that it includes video, so it must be a DVD.) If it were a CD, though, I really could do it in an hour a day, half an hour each way to work and back.

After decades of live performance, it is great to see Bob Lunergan continue his non-stop work behind the kit. While primarily a Jazz player, Bob is also versed in all styles.
His primary is his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14, and has been since Day 1 of receiving it. It has always been great to stay in touch, and to hear how much he enjoys this drum. Jamo Van de Bogert (Greg Allman) introduced him to Beier Drums, and uses them as his mains as well.
Thanks Bob! Appreciate the message the other morning. Please do keep me posted. And BTW....I Love PBS as well!!

York Avenue below 72nd Street is crisis-oriented, running southward down the food chain of really bad days from oncology to general medicine to plastic surgery, taking a brief hiatus for a medical college and a pre-school, then ramping the anguish levels back up with a boxy, mid-century veterinary clinic. I was walking back from my Tuesday swim. Gentle snowflakes were popping like distant flashbulbs against the darkening sky. The night suddenly turned thick, gray, and loud. I took cover from the storm in the vestibule of the nearest hospital, but it was no defense against the tiny secret chills in my ears, so I pushed against the vacuum-stuck doors and entered. The snow melting in my hair reactivated the scent of chlorine. I hate showering right after the pool. I like to leave while the empty stretch of ache is still in my limbs.
My random shelter was Memorial Sloan Kettering. It is an intriguing sort of name, but I was more immediately drawn to the lobby's little café. It wasn't any great shakes—just a corner with a lazy parabola of tables delineating its outer bound. A few unsorted sandwiches were scattered among apples individually muted by plastic wrap. There were faint indications that there had once been soup. I was hungry. I always follow myTuesday swim with a delivery order of grilled salmon from the French restaurant down the street. They know how I like it: nearly blackened, no sauce, the latest spinach variant steamed in a separate container. I'd only ever go in if a friend came to town or a date sparked up; the waiter would laugh and not bother handing me a menu.
I like your temporary home,it sounds exciting though. I also went to that cafe yesterday after my visit to buy essays papers from market.

Aswell as these baskets they will have an egg each and an easter egg hunt to take part in.
I would get them a teddy each but I'm forever falling over teddies ATM and it drives me crazy putting them a way every other day.
I've said all year I'm not going to get to much chocolate in because every year we end up with LOADS of Easter chocolate that never gets eaten or hangs around for ages until someone scoffs it or I throw it out.
But every time I pop to the shops I see such cute packaged chocolate!

'Night of the Hunter,' Charles Laughton's 1955 classic, screens in Berkeley

The actor Charles Laughton directed only one feature film, this 1955 classic, starring Robert Mitchum as a murderous, evil preacher. Though it was received positively (though not ecstatically) by critics at the time, audiences stayed away in droves, possibly due to the unpleasant nature of the subject. But years later, the film became recognized as a classic, and it's a shame that Laughton, who died in 1962, never got to direct another film. The visual style, unlike anything else at the time, and an eerie tone that combines elements of farce and horror make it a singular achievement, one of the great American films of the 1950s. Sometimes it seems that people in the 1950s had no clue what their era's best movies were. "Sweet Smell of Success" and "A Face in the Crowd" (both 1957) also took a generation to get the acclaim they deserved.
"Night of the Hunter": 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15. $8-$15. Pacific Film Archive. 2120 Oxford St., Berkeley. www.bampfa.berkeley.edu

Q: How to find the distance between places I am having 4 textboxes which are textbox1, textbox2, textbox3, textbox4. The end user will put 4 locations in each textbox like place1, place2, place3, place4. I need to display the distance between the places in the following order:

*

*Distance between palace1 and place2:

*Distance between palace2 and place3:

*Distance between palace3 and place4:

How to do this? I have taken help of the following link:
http://briancray.com/2009/04/01/how-to-calculate-the-distance-between-two-addresses-with-javascript-and-google-maps-api/
It helps when only two textbox are there.But I was unable to solve my problem.Solutions are expected using Javascript or Jquery or ASP.NET with C#.

A: Try this this for JQuery not exact answer but you can modify. And want to manipulate in C# so you can use this for getting from longitude and latitude and get longitude and latitude from the maxmind free DB (this one is if you don't want to use relay API)

A: You need to get the geographic coordinates for each location, and then use the Haversine formula to calculate the approximate distance between them.
Alternately, you might pass the addresses to a service like Google Maps and use the API to get the distance between the two addresses. The problem with using Google Maps is that you have a limited hit count.
Take a look at this article:

Criminology is a relatively young, dynamic, multidisciplinary and of synthesis scientific discipline (Fattah, 2008), whose aim is the study of the human being that comes into conflict with the society. In other words, it deals with, on the one hand, the examination of the criminal actions and those who perpetrated them, on the other hand, with particularly regard to the victimology, in order to analyze the crime victim figure and the methods employed for favoring his social readaptation in his own life environment.
Starting from this definition, in order to begin the preface of this volume concerning the criminology and victimology teaching in different fields and world areas, I would like to refer briefly to a speech presented in the 12th International Congress on Criminology that took place in Seoul (Republic of Korea) from the 24th to 29th August 1998. The goal of this report (Sherman, 1998) was to relate a dream that projected a professor of criminology in the month of August 2098 to visit a big city which appeared, ten years ago as well as today, like a milk and honey land for the Criminology and the Victimology as well.
This professor, during the dream, was going to different institutional subjects, starting from the 'District Criminologist' of the police station, followed by the 'Prosecutor's Chief Criminologist', followed by 'Mr. XX, Ph. D., Licensed School Criminologist', with the 'Medical Criminologist' of the Department of Health', and last the 'Economic Criminologist' of the 'Department of Economic Development' of that city. Among those professionals, by explaining their daily activities to the professor, whom, I say it again, was dreaming this job journey, pointed out how the criminology and the victimology also be the theoretical base to intervene operatively, starting from different perspectives, against the deviance or criminal actions (for instance, truancy from school, bullying incident, auto theft, burglary, armed robbery, arson, assault, murder) which were implemented in such oneiric city.
For instance, the professor of criminology was filled of wonder when the "Chief Criminologist" of the Prosecutors staff showed him the graphic that recorded the data concerning the results of a trial, lasted two years, about the sentences issued by each prosecutor of that city: "For each of the ten offense types, there were two bars. One showed the recidivism rates for cases assigned to short terms in jail. The other showed recidivism rates for similar cases given long terms in jail. The results were striking. For property offenses, the recidivism rates were lower with longer average jail terms. But for violent offenses, including assault and robbery, the recidivism rates were lower with shorter average jail terms" (Sherman, 1998, p. 47).
The professor asks to the "Chief Criminologist" to tell him the reasons of such excellent results. The latter points out that the active involvement of the crime victims is the basis of the prosecution and the apparent attention of the judges at the end of the 21st century, toward the results of the criminological researches that have been carried out by his staff. Actually, the outcomes, for instance, of some surveys concerning the recidivism rate, are applied afterwards by planning and using ad hoc intervention techniques. Other pleasant surprises were reserved to the criminology professor during his oneiric journey in this futuristic city of the year 2098, at the end he woke up and he noticed that actually any of the imagined activities had been carried out yet, even so he would continue to hope that a tenth of the activities he dreamt at least would born in the recent past where he was plunged.
It was a recent past (I remember it was the year 1998) concerning a criminology that, developing among social sciences and judicial sciences, would had to cover a tortuous and difficult path, but behind the scientific disputes, would had to prove the social usefulness of its own knowledge, studies and empiric researches. (Picca, 1998, pp. 54-55).
It was a recent past where the results of a research where I collaborated personally, whose field of the criminology teaching programs in various degree or specialization courses offered in different countries of the world were collected and analyzed (Balloni, Bisi, Sette, 1998; Sette, 1998).
The conclusion of this research pointed out, on the one hand the need to train some experts in the criminological field, which in their workplace would deal with activities of prevention, repression and control of the deviance and crime, whose training was obtained within specific university course of study, but on the other hand, warned us against the fact that "although there are in some countries many university courses and institutionalized programs for security, these latter are not given their proper due. The students attending them quickly learn that, when it is time to apply for a job at a company, candidates with backgrounds in law enforcement or investigation enjoy a privileged position" (Bisi, 1998, p. 18).
It was at last a recent past where the information, obtained through researching various curricula in criminology, has led to the creation of a three-year undergraduate course for "Security and Social Control Operators" which started during academic year 1997-1998 at the Faculty of Political Science "Roberto Ruffilli" at the University of Bologna (Italy). Its purpose was "to offer training at university diploma level for the management of modern investigation, security and control strategies" (Bisi, 1998, p. 29).
BACK TO THE PRESENT
During the last ten years from the first journey to the unreal city of the year 2098, the professor of criminology continues more frequently to plug in fabulous oneiric adventures because the condition of the branch of learning he loves studies and teaches does not provide him any comforting signs of evolution in the imagined direction. In fact, he is plunged in a present time where:
The difficulty that the criminology continues to face in order to win fully autonomy is tangible, even scholars of criminology do not agree about the direction to follow in order to attain that goal. Nowadays some people are pointing out that, in many countries in the world, the criminology is in expansion both from the scientific point of view and as far as its institutional autonomy in the academic field is concerned (Garland, 2008), while others, in different contexts (like Italy, for instance), maintain that it still needs to acquire prestige and to free both its undeserved reputation, of European extraction, as an auxiliary branch of the criminal law and that, of American extraction, as subset of the sociology (Fattah, 2008, p. 168).
The labor market is not still ripe enough in order to open thoroughly to the placement of the criminological professions, so, as pointed out in the previous paragraph, when the "security" and the "investigation" are concerned, the firms prefer, for instance, to employ persons who have previous experiences in the police. Otherwise, a situation where the graduates in criminology suffer the (fair or unfair?) competition of the social workers (who had obtained a further qualification in criminology) when it comes to occupy a post in fields connected to the criminology (jobs working with marginal groups: homeless, street corner work…, social work, social aid, education and teaching) (Goethals, 2007, p. 26).
Few subjects attract more attention and give rise to numerous debates than those connected to the crime and the victimization. Unfortunately, those debates are very frequently based upon the emotions rather than the information and, in this domain, the criminology has to assume the role of professionals' educator able to study scientifically the criminal behavior, the criminalization and victimization processes, the role that is assumed by the security control in order to find different methods of intervention to solve different situations and problems (http://www.socialsciences.uottawa.ca). We cannot underestimate, however, that in relation to the growing attention due to the questions connected to the "citizen's security", the teaching of the criminology has a great success, but the danger is that this discipline act as "lark-mirror" to attract a large number of students interested in this discipline, who contribute to fill the coffers of the universities, without anticipating neither a formative offer that is up to expectations nor suitable professional insertion course.
With reference to Italy, among the academic world and the professional world, there is a lack of significant interaction through the different competent Ministries, which it would be important in order to promote a scientific and professional education acknowledged institutionally for the crime professions. In fact, the dialogue between University and other Ministries stopped in 2006 later on the change of the Government. It was a course that anticipated the project of a interdepartmental decree by acting in concert with the Secretary of State for Education, the Home Secretary, the Secretary of Justice and the Secretary of Agriculture, concerning the establishment of the classes of the three year degree course and the specialist degree course in crime and security sciences, in order to set the general criteria about the definition of the different university didactic training courses of experts in criminology, that is to say those who have professional and relational competence to operate in the security sector and to be able to analyze the criminal phenomena that are implemented locally, without neglecting the international perspectives (Balloni, A., & Bisi, R. & Sette, R., 2008, p. 40).
These considerations allow us to reflect on the present and to connect to Tony Peter's assertions, President of the International Society of Criminology, during his address delivered in the opening of the 15th World Congress on Criminology (Barcelona Spain – 20-25 July 2008), about the state of the criminology and victimology teaching skills in universities. In particular, he quoted that: "Challenging socio-economic and political developments urge criminologists to step forward as creative independent and critical scientists who contribute to a fast growing body of theoretical knowledge and socio-empirical academic research" (Peters, 2008, p. 12).
In fact, the future of the criminology as an autonomous discipline undoubtedly depends, among other things, on promoting its teaching in universities through well-defined courses to train future professionals in the prevention and reduction of crime in various settings (Balloni, Bisi & Sette, 2008).
Universities, police academies and the victim support services in many parts all around the world teach those disciplines in order to train professionals who are able to make decisions and to plan strategies in the wide fields of the law enforcement, of the crime prevention, of the criminal justice administration, of the crime victim services and of the security management.
This is to say that the criminology and the victimology become applied sciences whose activities are set between the art and the science, where the intuition in the choice of the methods affects the result. Since the aim is to refer not only to an epistemological outline, but also to a real outline of the everyday reality in which the professionals have to work in order to represent and to solve the problems.
It stands to reason that in front of the challenge that the globalization sends to our society, for instance, the growth of the need "for advanced knowledge about new forms of crime (fraud, corporate crime, organized crime, cyber crime…) and for a 'more appropriate approach' to crime" (Goethals, 2007, pg 21). Old and new challenges require, naturally, the scientific research development in the criminological and victimological domain, which are more and more studied in detail and methodologically correct, and consequently they produce new jobs.
Concerning this, in Belgium, "the Leuven Institute of criminology has been monitoring the professional position of criminologist-alumni of the Katholieke Univestiteit Leuven since 1980" by the transmission of a survey that focused on the different topics among them the "actual job situation" (Goethals, 2007, pg. 22-28). In particular, one of the object of this research was to understand if the ex students of criminology of this University really did a "criminological job". The collected data showed that "more than half of the respondents (57%) are employed in the criminological core-sector, and another 14% in area narrowly related to the criminological area. One out of three (30%) is employed outside the criminological and related professions" (Ibidem, pp. 24-25). In particular with regard to variation occurred during those years, this study pointed out that, from 1990, "the percentage of alumni employed in the core areas has strongly increased", even if inconsistently , passing from 29,4% of the period 1978-81 to 57% of the last years 2001-2004. The areas "police, youth protection, and corrections, including community sanctions" absorb the higher percentage of ex students of criminology that are employed in the "core criminological areas", while the criminology related areas give opportunities to operators who are involved in "marginal groups (homeless; street corner work…), social work, social aid, education and teaching" (Ibidem, p. 26).
The issue of this research, undoubtedly positive, has to be connected to the deed that, in Belgium, for instance, as regards the police, the figure of the criminologist is brought out because this institution also provides the employment of employees with degrees concerning the disciplinary area of the criminology, as inferred in the recruitment page of the Belgian Police's website (http://www.jobpol.be). In this way, it is possible to achieve a close connection between the University world, which trains the future criminologists, and the work, which needs specific competences.
This does not happen very frequently, as in Italy with regard to the criminology and the victimology, even if it has been pointed out recently that the "work culture should become more and more the integral part of the university culture": University has to be able to develop the abilities of the future graduates which are needed by the nation offering "a large range of basic knowledge useful to operate in a world that changes continuously, which requires comprehension skills in order to understand the reference contexts, the ability to make "problem diagnosis" and their solution, to be able to stand comparison with different cultures and techniques" (Moratti, 2003).
However, what usually happens in different countries, with regard to the "criminological jobs", as underlined at the beginning of this paragraph, is that the "employers are not familiar with the criminology degree" and "the competition with other types of social scientists for the jobs in the criminological job market is strong" (Goethals, 2007, p. 32).
So we agree with who ascertain that the criminology development, as independent academic discipline, and the contribution that it can provide to the professional training of the future criminologists, "is a function of the close collaboration between academics and policy makers through consulting and research, and vice versa through the hiring of policy makers for academic teaching. This close relationship is of utmost importance to narrow the gap between academia and the job market, and is one of the main conditions to create criminological functions" (Ibidem, p. 33. In this sense see also: Balloni, A., & Bisi, R. & Sette, R., 1998; Balloni, A., & Bisi, R. & Sette, R., 2008; Balloni, A. & Sette, R. (Eds.), 2000; Bisi, R. (Ed.), 1998; Bisi, R., 1999).
OBJECTIVES OF THE BOOK
It is a well-known fact that the explanation and the social reaction against the crime are influenced by the historical and cultural context. So, didactic methodologies for criminology and victimology are subjected to continuous change in relation to theories and needs strictly linked to the criminological and victimological profession. So the aim of this work is an ambitious one, in order to contribute to a decisive and sweet awakening of the criminology professor who, after the oneiric state wherein he fell in 1998, can find himself, even if it is not a condition of complete consciousness, he could be in a drowsiness state which prelude to a situation of a renewed fervor of activities where he will find out, with the Cartesian astonishment of "am I dreaming or awake?", the existence of the concrete possibility of:
To set up dynamic didactic course for the criminology and victimology teaching in the university field through different multimedia technologies and the interaction of means that are also employed both by the different branched of the sociology, as the urban sociology, and by professionals of the social control agencies.
To insert the criminology and the victimology in the domain of the educational courses of different professionals (Magistrates, Lawyers, Medical Doctors, penitentiary workers) that plan and carry out a course of help on behalf of sentenced subjects, detained in prison or in enforcement of a judgment in a measure alternative to the imprisonment, in order to provide them means direct to the activation of profitable collaborations, both with the different institutes and services that are present on the territory and with the victims of the crime, in order to formulate treatment programs which point out and respect to the individuality of each one (Bisi, 1990, p. 64).
In short, to propose, without preconceived ideologies, the development of the criminological and victimological discipline, with regard to his difficulties and his concrete possibilities to overcome those situations.
Therefore the aim of the book, by the contribution coming from different parts of the world of the researchers, academics and experts, to know the state of the art of the research in the criminology and the victimology and their teaching in order to analyze the significant role of those disciplines in the professionals' training.
The mutual exchanges among the points of view of the Universities with the Police Academies and the victim supports services are able to promote a reciprocal enrichment and to provide important information for a better training and to identify more precisely the needs imposed from the reality to the professionals that have to face the crime and the victimization answering to the actual challenges of the globalization and the rapid social change.
The book wants to study how the interaction among the culture and the academic research and the specific professional training needs of criminology and victimology experts start a positive interaction that is able to show new solutions. The book develops through case studies that can observe, in a holistic and dynamic way, real teaching, training and research situations.
In particular, the goals of the book are:
to provide a judicious mix of practical experiences and research in the form of case studies;
to observe, in an holistic and dynamic way, real teaching and research situations of the criminology and victimology;
to analyze the for and against of different teaching methodologies of the criminology and the victimology in the academic field, in the Police Academies and in victim support services;
To be the point of reference for those whom, for various reasons, are involved in the planning, in the development and in the implementation of didactic programs.
ORGANIZATION OF THE BOOK
The book is organized into fifteen chapters. A brief description of each of the chapters follows:
The chapters from 1 to 4 propose theoretical and empirical approaches, by using an integrated methodology from the criminological, sociological, psychological and psychiatric point of view for the analysis of the personality of a perpetrator of a crime or for the examination of a witness in order to assess his credibility. The chapter 5 describes the use of a dynamic didactic approach, defined P.e.N.T.A.C.R.I.M.E. (Project on Electronic 'Ntensive Advanced Teaching for Criminological Research & Intelligence Era in Media) for the study of cases related to some terrorist organizations.
The chapter 6 shows the use of the GIS (Geographic Information System) in the domain of an academic research, for the implementation, with regard to the Italian city of Bologna, on the one hand, of a kind of crime mapping concerning the crimes defined petty offences pertaining to the penal justice of the peace, and on the other hand, for the creation of a city map whereon the victim support services which have been identified work.
The purpose of the chapter 7 is to describe the postgraduate training course "Assessment and treatment approach when handling child abuse cases and pedophilia", developed by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy), as an example of a university based and multidisciplinary training of graduated communities' professionals - such as child psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, educators, law enforcement officers, judges and lawyers – in order to develop evidence based strategies to respond to child abuse.
The focus of the chapter 8 is to describe a case concerning the key role of security technologies to observe, describe and in some way record teenagers' behaviors and social action at school, at home and in the daily life as a whole.
The chapter 9 presents the production of a video documentary, carried out in order to study in detail the intervention implemented in favor of the victims of a specific crime of international importance, in this case the traffic in women for sexual exploitation. The chapter 10 analyzes the murder of a young man, an Italian citizen, born and grown up in Milan, son of a Burkina Faso immigrant with Italian citizenship.
Nowadays, digital identity theft (also known as phishing) has become one of the most lucrative illegitimate business. Pharming and keylogging are some of the latest and utmost sophisticated data processing techniques used by computer crime fraudsters. Latest entries are the "botnets", herds of infected machines. Organized crime is becoming more and more involved in this new high-tech crime world that can easily assure huge profits. The chapter 12 shows as the Italian State Police tries to respond more effectively to this new rising challenge.
The case study of the chapter 11 looks at the postgraduate program in Criminology and Police Science at the Ruhr-University of Bochum, Germany. This practice oriented course of study is designed as a distance learning course (blended-learning) and therefore focuses on techniques of e-learning.
The chapter 13 highlights the importance of professional training for serving sentences judges whose educational programming would provide for inputs of criminology and victimology studies. In particular this training course wants to provide to the surveillance magistrate appropriate cognitive means that, in Italy, has the duty of defining suitable treatment programs for the sentenced and to encourage some process of mediation between the perpetrator of the crime and his victim.
The chapter 14 dwells upon the need of professional training, in the criminological and victimological field, of the local police workers in Italy and it analyzes some courses which are given by the Local Police Academies.
The chapter 15 analyzes a peculiar situation wherein the University came in prison: the aim is to examine how academic studies may be considered as a specific opportunity to put the rehabilitation ideal into practice, as the article 27 of the Italian constitution asserts ("Punishment must aim to re-education").
The book will contain many contributions by authors from different part of the world. The authors are leading researchers, academicians and practitioners in the field of criminology and victimology. The contributions span the entire spectrum of the field: from the research through the didactic methodologies (traditional learning, computer applications, and e-learning) for applied criminology and victimology.
To sum up I wish that this work can represent a valid convergence point of the state of the art of the research and the teaching of the criminology and the victimology.
